Arguably, Bootfix doesn't belong in BOOT because BOOT should only be
bootloaders. However, due to the nature of the program, BOOT is actually a
good fit even though it technically doesn't belong.
We should eventually get GRUB4DOS in BOOT as well (which, if my bad memory
serves me correctly, we don
Hi Jim,
Yes, you have asked about these before.
We discussed these on the
email list months ago.
Ah. Good point.
I was not aware of FDTUI being buggy,
so maybe it is indeed good to drop it.
